Good morning, it's time for our mid month inspirational post where the DT are offered a challenge, this time it's Sally who starts off our new DT's theme of 'My go to stamp', I am really looking forward to seeing what each of the team come up with in the next few months.

So I will hand you over to Sally....................

My Go to stamp had to feature a tree, but which one?! After much thought I went for this one by Inkylicious.

I have used it for Birthdays, Christmas, Father's day and sympathy cards. It is such a versatile stamp.

About our Challenge

Stamping Sensations is a monthly challenge and a new one will be posted on the first Sunday of every month.

All winners and Top 3 will be selected by a democratic voting system. As our DT have a wide variety of crafting styles we believe this system will offer an equal opportunity to all levels of crafting abilities.

Following EU guidelines, minors entering the challenge will not be selected for winners or top 3 spots in order to protect their identities.
